where now?

[blackmomba69]

i just finished reading a book on VB6 programming, i think i have a pretty good concept on basic programming but now i find myself starved for knowlage... i look at most of the code out there and i dont understand half of it, where do i turn from here? i need info on the stuff just pased the basics level but i dont know where to look

any suggestions?

Try them all, and step thru the ones that are confusing (using F8).
If you think you have a handle on it all, then try to write something of your own. You will get a great sense of accomplishment if you can figure something out on your own. If you get stuck, that's why we're here

You can start by pasting that code in the vb6 forum and asking, what it does.

Post questions on what you don't understand.

Start with posting the code, and then telling us what you think it does, or what you think it should do, and then ask why it isn't?

But WRITE! You can't fully learn a language just by reading in it. If you are only reading, you are not simply trying to understand the language, but you are also trying to understand the mind of the person who wrote it. Each of us has our own style, and while we can parse each others code, we will all be thinking of the problem in different ways. By only reading, you might figure out how it was done, but you will not figure out why it was done, and without that, you won't be able to build on that knowledge to create your own programs.

Practice, practice and again ... practice! Perhaps, try to replicate samples that you saw in the book. Non of them would work for initially so you would start asking ... so we would take from there ... See ya in VB Forum .

Good luck.

And when you get really good at programming in VB6, you should be able to pull off stuff like this....not to brag or anything, but it's amazing what VB6 is capable of

If you want to learn programming the easy way, start off with the basics after you know your general programming concepts, such as If statements, For loops, variables and data types, arrays, object oriented programming, etc. Once you learned that, think of a simple program you can make, like a "Hello world" app, which is the easiest to make. Or little mini games, like Whack The Mole, Tron, Duck Hunt, etc. The mini games is what helped me learn how to program the easy way...a lot actually.
